    (about the auto insurance advertisment that came on before the video started & show’s a Motorcycle crashing w/o a rider & then text saying “a Motorcycle Never Crashes Alone”.) THAT’S BULLSHIT, Anyone who says that has never either been in or to a Beginner/pre-novice 250 (4-Stroke) class Motocross Race. I’ve seen kids let go of their bikes, land on his feet, while his Honda CR125R took off & flew 65-Feet (Height) in the air & clear a 80-Foot (Distance) triple that wasn’t ever meant to be a triple

    THANKS LOT U ALOT OF HELP MAN

  17. csidaznigga says:

    @mombo85 oh wow thanks, that makes so much more sense lol

  18. mombo85 says:

    @csidaznigga, he is not putting and old pad bhack in the caliper. he is just pushing the cilinders of the caliper back in place. he took the old pad away afterwards.

    you have tu push the cilinders back because your old break pads are usually wear out and when you try to put the caliper back in place it will not fit because it stays to close to the disc because the old pads were thin (wear out) and the new ones are usually some fat shinny babies.

    i have a 96 subaru legacy outback and the calipers and disks are rusted to shit should i save em or invest in new? the brakes are frozen too.

  20. theguy1224 says:

    @csidaznigga Hes not putting the old pads back on. Hes using the old pads and a c-clamp tool to push the caliper piston back in, for reinstallation.

  21. csidaznigga says:

    @lustatus Whats the point of putting the old brake pads back on 1:40?

    @wc9394, Spray it with WD40 and wait for around 3 minutes. If possible, extent the length of your ratchet using a hollow metal tube, so as to leverage and increase your torque force, or alternatively use a longer rachet.
